This is We Built This City by Starship rewritten to illustrate the future of the Pens ushering in the post-Crosby era.
We traded Crosby
We traded Crosby for the future
Traded Crosby
We traded Crosby for the future
Say you don't know me or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in a trade now, fighting for return
Too many bad offers, perhaps they’ll make me burn
Malkin’s traded after, listen to Ron Hextall, don't you remember?
We traded Crosby, we traded Crosby for the future
We traded Crosby, we traded Crosby for the future
Traded Crosby, we traded Crosby for the future
Someone's always playing corporation games
Who cares, they're always changing corporation names
We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage
They call us irreplaceable then write us off the page
Malkin’s traded after, listen to Ron Hextall, don't you remember?
We traded Crosby, we traded Crosby for the future
We traded Crosby, we traded Crosby for the future
Traded Crosby, we traded Crosby for the future
It's just another Saturday in a tired beaten rink
Can’t let ‘em get concussions, they won’t be able to think
Who accepts a trade return like this?
Who knows if it’s gonna be hit or miss?
Don't tell us you need us 'cause we’re the talented
Looking for a new team, find one that’s uninhabited
Don't you remember? (Remember)
Malkin’s traded after, listen to Ron Hextall, don't you remember?
We traded Crosby, we traded Crosby for the future

HABS would have done that trade if it was 4 years down the road and Crosby was 35 then and the HABS were in a playoff run. Today it is a hard NO just because of the timing

I know it's not the most obvious detail in any post, but I used the 24-25 season, which is the furthest you can currently go with ACGM's. Therefore, it's as close to that timeframe as it could be.

Crosby will likely play 5-6 mores season and he will continue to make in the 70pts-90pts range.
